Singer Abhijeet calls Karan Johar ‘Mrs’ for casting Fawad Khan

Bollywood playback singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya now-a-days
makes news not for his songs, but for his controversial rants on social media. Amidst
the ongoing row over Pakistani artistes working in India, Abhijeet had few days
back attacked Filmmakers Karan Johar and Mahesh Bhatt, and Shah Rukh Khan
calling them “anti-nationals” and “bigger enemies then #TerrorStatePak.”

Now, in a fresh tweet, Abhijeet has called the ‘Student of
the Year’ director ‘Mrs Karan Johar linking him to Pakistani actor Fawad Khan,
who is a part of the latter’s upcoming film ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’.

The popular singer wrote, “Another #lovejihad .. Mehbooba
#KaranJohar is in depression ..pak lover fawad ditched bechari Mrs @karanjohar
khan.” Abhijeet tweeted the comment along with a link to a news report about KJo
confirming that Fawad won’t be the first guest on his talk show ‘Koffee with
Karan season 5’.

Karan has been facing a lot of heat for casting Fawad Khan
in ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ set to release on October 28, with a section of
politicians demanding him to chop off the ‘Khoobsurat’ actor’s role completely
from the film, or else, the film’s release will be stopped.

Abhijeet also took a dig at Salman Khan saying that the
superstar was ashamed of showing his loyalty to India, and that Fawad Khan was
a true patriot. The singer tweeted, “#FawadKhan shows true patriotism towards
his country Pakistan whilst Bollywood, @BeingSalmanKhan is ashamed to show
loyalty to India.. #mns.”

The comments came after Salman, at an event last Friday, September
30, said that Pakistani actors are were not terrorists and that art and
terrorism should not be mixed. His statement had also invited the backlash of
Shiv Sena leader Manisha Kayande, who said that Salman too should migrate to
Pakistan if he has so much love for the Pakistani actors.

Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray, who is known
to be a good friend of the actor, also threatened to ban Salman’s films if the
actor continues to support Pakistani artistes.
